1961 Map of Maysville East

About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping bend through this early 1960s survey, marking the state line between Ohio and Kentucky. In the southern portion of the map, the industrial and urban layout of Maysville is visible, featuring the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor running parallel to the riverbank. This river-and-rail economy is contrasted by the high ridges and deep hollows of the Virginia Military District to the north, where small rural settlements like Beetle and Bradysville are linked by winding routes such as Bradysville Road and Scoffield Road. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from Hiett Chapel and its associated Hiett Chapel Cem to the County Home and Ellis Grove Cem. The map captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, where numerous streams like Threemile Creek and Lickskillet Branch have carved deep valleys into the surrounding plateau.
